Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaIt's getting quite tired. The bed sheets need replacing, a general tidyup and pressure clean would be good. The pool is nice but the timber really needs to be varnished. There were loose poles around the pool that were still loose from our last visit 1.5 years ago.
The location is excellent and the price is very good value as it's probably the cheapest hotel in the area.

GreeceThe resort is right at Anse Vata and in an area with several shopping and recreational options. Unfortunately, not all buildings are equally well maintained so it's really a hit or miss how your room will actually look like.

Papua New GuineaI chose to be accommodated in the budget rooms. Only 2 things that I think needs improvement on: 1. Add a few English channels to the TV Channel List 2. Have another little bin in the room itself, just one provided in the bathroom is alright but not too okay for food rubbish or so.
I like the location, very central, convenient and by the amazing beach. Beautiful location. The room was alright too, value for money.

AustraliaOnly one old pillow per bed. Hotel bar (code) serve frozen supermarket food which was not good at all. We did not try the restaurant after spending time in the bar. Definitely opportunity to upgrade the old rooms and get a fresher look.
We really like the location: in front of the beach, close to restaurants, attractions and shops. Nice pool and ok facilities.

AustraliaNo laundry during holy week. No iron, hair dryer. It's an old building outside Nouvata. The building I am in is called Nouvata Budget. Breakfast and dinner. Same boring food every day You get what you paid for. Staff communication is not the best in English No info pamplet on tour or time table of bus shuttles for Arc en ciel. The staff is so vague with non locals who can't soeak french.. Nouvata staff still old ways. They're not techno savvy.
Close to Lemon Bay, Anse Vata, and not far from the city. Bus Charter 3 and restaurants outside hotel.

United KingdomThe hotel doesn't provide any vanity kits or soap. There is a dispenser for body wash in the premium room. However, that's all fine! Just be prepared to bring your own amenities. We didn't have the hotel breakfast buffet as it was a bit pricey, but there are loads of boulangeries and cafes nearby. The hotel didn't get back to us in time to help us with an airport shuttle booking, but for EUR 26 works out slightly cheaper than arc en ciel so best to call the hotel to help
I hope this review helps someone in the future looking at this property, as the number of mixed reviews on Bookings made it difficult for me to know when I was searching whether a stay at Nouvata would be worth it. However, I would definitely say I made the right choice of booking at Nouvata. I preface this by saying I stayed in the Premium room located in the main hotel complex. First off, you should read the hotel and room details on the website well. The budget rooms are indeed cheaper, but they are found a 5 min walk away from the main hotel. The premium and comfort rooms are in the main hotel. Don't know what the rooms are like but they look fine from the outside and are very close to the main hotel. INTERNET IS FREE, FAST, AND GOOD NETWORK (up until ~30 GB a day) - if you are using more than 30 GB then maybe buy an unlimited data package portable wifi. Room is great - comfortable beds and pillows. Not a 5-star hotel quality, but perfectly fine for myself and my family. The hotel provided a crib which was great. THE AIRCONDITIONER SYSTEM WORKS FINE! Try adjusting the modes first before you make any complaints! If you really have any problems with the air conditioner of course call the front desk - but our experience of the air conditioner system is just fine! The Avis/Budget office can be found right outside the hotel's beach front entrance. We booked a car right from the office and were able to use the hotel's free parking in their private lot.

VanuatuCockroaches, night staff, no fridge, not enough clothes hangers. See above.
The day staff morning and afternoon were helpful, the night staff not so much. It was a visit for a medical emergency so after one person was in the Medipole, the room was good for one person. We had requested two single beds,but got a double. The balcony has peeling paint but an excellent view. The room was ok, but the bathroom was cramped, the toilet facing a wall and there were small cockroaches every day. The reception during morning and afternoon was helpful for getting taxi's which were in short supply. It was obviously photographed with a very wide angle lense, but in terms of price and convenience we were quite satisfied. The location is agreeable and central for most trajectories. Restaurants were abundant but the breakfast at the L'equilibre was a little expensive. Not unhappy & would book again. Cleaning service/ chamber maid very friendly. A small mini bar fridge would be good. The AC worked but the remote didn't seem to. TV had 8 channels, luckily I speak French so that was also OK.
